Why is it important to cite references in your research paper?

  • It gives credit to the authors of the sources you used
  • It provides your reader with more information about your sources so they can find them if they want to read more about your topic
  • It shows your credibility and that you did your research before you came to a conclusion
  • It prevents plagiarism
